"Look, haha, Yue's feelings for you are no less than the master's."

Shia couldn't hold back her tears any longer, warm tears streaming down her cheeks. Although Shia already knew Yue cared deeply about her, she had never imagined Yue would be so determined. Re-understanding Yue's deep concern for her, Shia desperately wanted to rush out and find Yue. But she was completely naked and couldn't leave.

Tio caressed Shia's head with a gentle expression. After Shia calmed down, Tio turned the page.

——〇月╳日

A wild useless dragon appeared. She really was a useless dragon, incredibly perverted, and she brought back my longing.

“Ugh!?”

"Ms. Tio!? Cheer up! The wound is only superficial!"

Normally, Tio would have been thrilled by being scolded, but the words "give back your dreams" hit her hard. Especially since Yue and Shia's warm friendship had just happened, it was a huge blow to Tio. She felt bad for ruining Yue's impression of the Dragon People and wanted to kowtow to her in apology.

——〇月╳日

Hajime's power has finally been revealed to the world, and the looks from those in the church are unusual. The situation Hajime faces will become even worse, and he might even be labeled a heretic.

But putting that aside, I can't forget the kiss between Hajime and the teacher. Teacher and student... not bad. I'm Teacher Yue, and I hunt students after school.

"No hunting!!" "No hunting!!"

Shia and Tio really wanted to complain: The first half of the narrative was quite serious.

——〇月╳日

The Wasted Dragon is so perverted, incredibly perverted, there is no doubt about that.

But I knew she was trying hard to understand us, and I liked that about her. And the more I talked with her, the more I realized how knowledgeable and thoughtful she was. Sometimes she'd step back and look at us with a gentle gaze, which bothered me a little. I couldn't see her as just a pervert; it must be because she was harboring some important emotions.

Like me, she lost her country and her companions, yet she managed to survive on her own... One day, I'd like to ask her what emotions have kept her alive until now? How will she live from now on? If I ask, she'll surely answer. However, it will take some time, as I'm not honest enough with her yet, and I don't have the right to ask. Since she answers honestly, I must be honest with her, too.

But putting that aside for now, Hajime seems to be enjoying torturing Tio. Is it just my imagination? ...I, I'm Yue! I can't turn pain into pleasure, but I won't die no matter what I'm treated like!

"So this love is too heavy! The idea that I can do anything because I won't die is completely crazy!"

"..."

As Shia complained, Tio stared at the contents of the diary in surprise. Then, she scratched her cheek, a troubled expression on her face. Her mood was very complicated, a mixture of joy and a little turbulence.

"Ms. Tio, let's continue reading."

Tio suddenly woke up and looked to the side, only to see Shia looking at her sincerely. Shia must have read the content as well, but she didn't ask anything, just looked at Tio with a gentle yet powerful gaze.

If she thought about it carefully, Shia was just like her, driven from her hometown, lost many family members, and yet survived. The reason why she didn't ask anything was probably the same as Yue's.

If you want to ask Tio about the feelings that are dear to her heart, you must first prove that you are qualified to ask.

"Yeah, let's keep reading."

Although tears were about to burst out due to her extraordinarily calm, warm and precious care, Tio still turned to the next page.

——〇月╳日

I want, children.

"So direct!?"

"The handwriting is powerful!"

This must be because Myuu didn't call Yue "Mom." You can see traces of the pen being broken from writing on it. Just how much she wants a child.

——〇月╳日

Myuu is so cute. I want a child, I want a child, I want Hajime's child. I want a child, I want a child so badly. I love Hajime, so I want a child, I want a child, I want a child, I want—the rest is omitted.

"I've written five pages straight about wanting a child..."

"Crazy, crazy, I think Miss Yue is crazy! Miss Yue is a yandere!"

Tio's hand holding the notebook was shaking, and Shia was sweating, her rabbit ears drooping and shaking non-stop.

——〇月╳日

Finally, the wild Kaori appeared. I thought she would give up, but she shook off her confusion and confronted me head-on.

If she has guts, I will defeat her fairly.

But let's put that aside for now. I want Hajime's child. I am Yue, and even if my opponent is my most beloved lover, I will not show mercy.

"In Miss Yue's eyes, are we all wild?"

"Rather than that, I'm more concerned about Yue's persistence. How much she wants a child? She should know that we're on a journey to conquer the Great Labyrinth and don't have time for a child. I think Yue herself understands that... But judging by this diary, I'm afraid she'll say something like 'I'm pregnant' soon."

“Indeed, that’s true. If that person were Yue, Hajime-san would also be pushed over by her.”

"Resistance is useless."

A monster from the abyss versus the vampire Princess Yue, the chance of winning is 0. If she licks her lips, beware, for nothing awaits Hajime but devastation.

Shia and Tio looked at each other, saying "How scary!" "How scary!" as they tried to continue reading...

"...Shia, Tio."

""!?"

Someone called out to them. Shia and Tio shuddered, their bodies stiffening. Like a machine that had been forgotten to be lubricated, they turned back stiffly.

"Ms. Yue, Yue!? When did you get here!?"

"No, that's not it, Yue! How should I put it? I just couldn't help myself!"

Yue had a completely expressionless face, and looked at Shia and Tio with cold eyes.

“…Have you seen it?”

Shia and Tio couldn't answer. Yue's cold gaze made them tremble.

Yue silently extended her hand, perhaps asking them to return. Tio respectfully handed over the diary, as if offering tribute; Yue took it and put it in her arms.

Afterwards, the frozen state in their hearts was lifted, and they kowtowed to Yue together to apologize, their voices of "I'm sorry~" echoing in the room.

Yue asked the two to look up, shrugged and said to them:

"...It's my fault for leaving it here, don't worry."

Unexpectedly, they were forgiven, and their guilt deepened. When they were about to apologize again...

"...Let's put that aside for now. Have you guys showered yet?"

"Eh? No, no, not yet."

"Y-yeah, I found that diary before I washed it..."

After hearing Yue's choice of words, the two of them, despite a bad feeling, still answered frankly. Yue said, "Is that so...", and then his golden hair fluttered up, and he spoke:

"I'm Yue, a woman who won't show mercy, even if it's my younger sister or someone I admire."

Shia and Tio fled. Shia quickly wrapped a towel around herself and used a dash to break the outward-facing bathroom wall. After jumping out through the hole in the wall, Tio cast a barrier to prevent pursuit while patching up the hole with regeneration magic. The two coordinated perfectly.

They decided to flee until things calmed down...

Then, dark clouds covered the sky and groups of thunder dragons descended from the sky.

A mournful cry of “Ah ...

Yue seemed to suddenly remember something, took out her diary, and picked up the mini pen attached to it.

——〇月╳日

Weather: Sunny with some thunderstorms. Today is also a beautiful day.

Yue closed the diary, nodded with satisfaction, and walked briskly out to retrieve the rabbit and dragon that must have been charred by electricity.

Postscript to Volume 5

Sincerely thank you for purchasing and reading "Ordinary Occupations" Episode 5.

I am Bai Miliang, who likes middle school second years, and I am the author.

Well, this episode is rich in content. In addition to conquering two large mazes in one go, there are also Tio's awakening, Kaori's renewed self-awareness, and separation from Myuu.

While adding more characters will certainly make the story more lively, the frequency of each person's appearance will inevitably decrease, which is very troubling to me. I just hope that readers can better understand their feelings...

By the way, the first appearance of Myuu’s mother, Remia, actually has a prototype. Can you guess who it is?

Her catchphrase is "Aiya aiya, uh hehe", and she is a dignified and elegant beauty. If you say this, many people will probably guess who she is.

That’s right, it’s that person, the gloveless navigator who appeared in a certain healing-themed masterpiece (Bai Mi’s personal ranking is No. 1).

If you don’t know who it is, please search online quickly and use the keyword “Aiya aiya, wuhehe”. I believe it will definitely bring nourishment and healing to your life.

...This is clearly a postscript to "Ordinary Occupation," but for some reason, the lines are being used to promote a different work. Well, as long as more people can relate to Shiromi, I'll just leave it as is. Next up is the promotion for "Ordinary Occupation."

*At the same time as the fifth volume of this book is released, the first volume of the manga version of "Ordinary Occupation" by RoGa-sensei will also be released and serialized on the OVL website. To describe what kind of work it is, it can be simply put—it's truly shocking! Truly amazing! (Editor's note: All the information below refers to Japanese publications.)

Please support us!

There are not many lines left, so let me end with a few words of thanks.

Thank you to Takayaki-sensei for your beautiful illustrations, which always bring a smile to my face. And to the editor-in-chief who chats with me about everyday things, the proofreaders who so lovingly correct typos and misspellings, and everyone else who works so hard to make this happen, including RoGa-sensei, who oversees the manga, I'm truly grateful.

Then I would like to thank all the readers who have read this book, and all the netizens who have supported and encouraged me since "小說家になろう". Thank you very much.

I sincerely hope to see you all in the afterword of the next episode.

Volume 5 Bonus Booklet: Miniskirt Santa Claus in Another World

"So... Christmas is coming soon, right?"

While having lunch in a small town they happened to pass by, Kaori suddenly said this. Yue and the others tilted their heads and asked, "What is Christmas?" Hajime nodded and said, "...Ah, now that you mention it..."

"Indeed, it's almost Christmas on Earth."

"Haha, the Christmas party held at school last year was really fun. Even though Hajime-kun only attended for a short while, we took photos together and exchanged gifts..."

Kaori narrowed her eyes in reminiscence and smiled; Hajime also wore a nostalgic expression. Seeing their reactions, Yue frowned unhappily, Shia seemed dissatisfied, Tio looked like she was watching a show, and Myuu was confused.

"Yes, you colluded with Yaegashi, blocking my escape route. You forced me to take photos of you under the guise of pleading, mass-producing Christmas Eve monsters. It was supposed to be a random gift exchange, but the gifts were handed to me, causing the Christmas Eve monsters to evolve even further. I was clearly giving my gift to exchange, but you took it away as if nothing had happened. Then, you invited me to a private Christmas party in front of everyone, pushing the Christmas Eve monsters to their limits... Ahhh, what a nostalgic and terrifying Christmas."

"Why are our memories different!?"

Kaori was stunned with astonishment. However, this was exactly what happened. The male students, driven crazy by jealousy, transformed into monsters on Christmas Eve and kept pestering Hajime.

Yue tugged at Hajime's shirt and asked what Christmas was. Hajime replied, "It's a festival at the end of the year." He omitted the origin of the event, but the main point was that a strange figure in a strange costume called Santa Claus distributed gifts on that day, and that everyone craves cake on that day.

Hearing such a brief explanation, Kaori puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and said:

"No way, Hajime-kun. It should have other meanings, like, a day for couples to strengthen their relationship, right?"

Hearing Kaori's slightly shy words, Yue and the others narrowed their eyes and said "Oh".

"...Hajime, what did you and Kaori do? Did you do things that couples do?"

"That's all I just said. Kaori was a real troublemaker to me back then, and there was no way I was going to be alone with her on Christmas Eve. If I had done that... I wouldn't be here now."

“That’s too much, Hajime-kun.”

Being called a trouble maker to her face, Kaori couldn't help but tear up.

Her expression clearly made people want to protect her, but Hajime looked at her coldly.

"You're the one who went too far, you natural troublemaker. You asked me out for Christmas, but you also had other people with you, so it was fine. But the way you were dressed at the time… it made me think, 'Ah, Shirosaki-san is finally going to kill me.'"

"Kill, kill you? I don't understand what you mean."

Hajime's words were beyond Kaori's imagination, and tears welled up in her eyes. She searched her memory, trying to recall what she was wearing at the time—and she remembered.

"Uh, um... I think I'm dressed as Santa Claus..."

That's right, Kaori dressed up as Santa Claus for the Christmas party. That being said, dressing up as Santa Claus at Christmas isn't uncommon, so Kaori didn't understand what was wrong with her.

Seeing that Kaori was completely unaware, Hajime sighed and replied:

"You were so coy back then, and I said 'very pretty' because I thought you'd die if I didn't, given the situation. But I only dared to say it now. Actually, you were really—very erotic back then."

“Eroticism! Was that what Hajime-kun was thinking at that time?!”

"Of course I would think that. You're wearing a miniskirt that's only a few centimeters below your crotch. There's a heart-shaped hole in your chest, showing off your cleavage. It's winter, but you're wearing a sleeveless top. Maybe the size is too small, but your curves are completely exposed... Did you know? There were actually several boys who lost their minds and turned into wild beasts, and Yaegashi quietly dealt with them."

Kaori covered her face with her hands, her ears and neck turning red with embarrassment.

At that time, the girls in the class (mainly Taniguchi Suzu) instigated her by saying, "As long as you wear this dress, any boy will obey you!" Kaori threw away her shame as soon as she thought, "Nan-nanyun-san will obey me?"

At this point, Kaori couldn't help but feel very embarrassed when she thought about her sexy and stimulating outfit, and the female members spoke coldly to her.
